Zakaria added that developing countries such as Egypt and Brazil come at the fore.

And he indicated that society does not accept the occurrence of any complications, which increases the doctors’ fears of legal accountability, and they resort to cesarean delivery, believing that it is less risky. However, recent studies have proven the incorrectness of this hypothesis, and there is a societal trend among women and their families who prefer caesarean section for reasons related to the safety of the mother and fetus, thinking that this method is the safest and least painful, and the least impact on the reproductive system of women, and doctors are forced to meet their demands.

He added that: "The most dangerous currently is the increase in the number of advanced placenta cases, which presents Mother and fetus life The risk of death, both during pregnancy as a result of severe life-threatening bleeding, or during childbirth, as well as the increased likelihood of having a procedure HysterectomyOr injury to the bladder and intestines during the operation, and the necessity of holding the patient inside the intensive care room after giving birth as a result of these complications. University hospitals are receiving two advanced placenta cases weekly.".
alternative solutions
Zakaria explained that all these repercussions represent a human cost and an economic burden on the state, and therefore national policies must be adopted aimed at reducing the rate of caesarean sections through the establishment and operation of government centers for the care of pregnant mothers, including the provision of natural childbirth services, with an equipped operating room, and a specialist Obstetrics and Gynecologyan anesthesiologist, a staff of resident physicians, and a nursing staff trained in following up on natural childbirth, with the obstetrician calling only when necessary.
